Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Props to Lemmy for doing... something... with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.
Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don't see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don't know any better. After reading this, I can only imagine that Omarchy is most frequently distributed out of a shoddy panel van parked at a judicially-mandated distance outside of school zones. "Hey kid, want to try some Linux?"
I don't actually believe DHH uses Omarchy as his daily driver and not his Mac.
The failure to include Ruby/Rails would seem to indicate that. Or maybe the guy's given up on framework development and he's just a culture-war grievance blogger these days
